What intermediaries are for?

Series
Oxford UIDP Summit
Embed
In many countries, we have seen the rise of intermediaries that should bridge the intellectual, material and organisational divide between the worlds of science and business innovation. Do or do they not, that is the fundamental question?
Drawing on examples from Catapult, Fraunhofer and Manufacturing USA, we address this question and mount evidence as to their contributions in reducing the aforementioned gaps.

Chair: Kate Ronayne, STFC
Speakers: Simon Andrews, Fraunhofer ; Stuart Martin, Satellite Applications Catapult; Jay Walsh, Northwestern and Manufacturing USA

Series
Oxford UIDP Summit
Embed
R and D targets and metrics have become common place (e.g. 3% norm by EC, 2.4% norm in UK). However, what do those norms signal? What is their effect, if any? And, if such targets are deemed not relevant, what should then replace them?

Tackling Wicked Problems: Partnering for Impact

Series
Oxford UIDP Summit
Embed
UC San Diego VC for Research Sandra Brown presents recommendations from the Association of Public and Land-grant Universities (APLU’s) Public Impact-Focused Research (PIR) Initiative.
The PIR Initiative, underway for 18 months, is a strategic, transformative university movement with the intent of addressing societal problems beyond the reach of a single university-based research program. The initiative seeks to improve the health and well-being of society by advancing human knowledge through basic and applied research, and to provide a common framework and vernacular for communicating how APLU member institutions and their industry and community partners can embark upon solutions.

Why should we read translated texts?

Series
Linguamania
Embed
This episode explores what we lose or gain when we read a translated book. Are we missing something by reading the English translation and not the original language version? And what can the translation process tell us about how languages work?
Jane Hiddleston and Laura Lonsdale from the University of Oxford discuss these questions and also look at what fiction and translation can tell us about how languages blend with one another and interact. You can see the full transcript of this episode on the Creative Multilingualism website: https://www.creativeml.ox.ac.uk/linguamania-episode-3-why-should-we-read-translated-texts

The Global Thinkers Series, Oxford

Image
The Global Thinkers Series, Oxford
The Global Thinkers Project, Oxford was launched in 2017 with the aim of reviving silenced voices in the discipline of International Relations (IR). It explores the internationalist thought of individuals who have made significant contributions in international affairs but have been excluded from the discipline due to biases of language, region, and gender. By encouraging IR to 'rethink its thinkers', our project responds to a call for a more inclusive, diverse, and ‘Global IR’, making Oxford a hub for research and public engagement in this area. In 2019, the project won a grant from the Oxford University Press John Fell Fund to expand its reach and impact.
